Semi-finalist Sara Reeve invites us into her creative world with a fresh and looser approach to portrait painting. In this demonstration, she embraces the challenge of using only a decorator’s brush for the entire process, showcasing her unique style, with my face! You can catch up on the episodes theories and practices on Sky Arts Artist of the Year.
You can get the photo references that Sara used by signing up to the Draw Brighton Patreon. By signing up, from as little as £4 a month, you can get discounted classes at the studio, as well as access to thousands of reference photos with different themes, different models and access to online classes too!
Be sure to check out Sara’s oil painting classes on the Draw Brighton Timetable, I myself have been attending her classes to learn the ins and outs of oil paints and it really is mind blowing – if you geek out on things like that!
If you would like to book me to model in person for you, you can do so using the booking form on my Life Model page.
